Malinda Gayle "Mindy" McCready (born November 30, 1975 in Fort Myers,
Florida) is an American country music artist.
McCready was born and raised in southern Florida. She began singing in
church at age 3, and began seven years of formal opera training at age 9.
She graduated from high school with honors in 1992 at the age of 16, with
the intention of beginning an early musical career.
When she was 18, she moved to Nashville, where she was signed by BNA Records
(a label of Sony BMG Music Entertainment). Her debut album, Ten Thousand
Angels, was released on April 30, 1996, and was certified gold six months
later.

The album produced her two biggest hits, “Ten Thousand Angels” and “Guys Do
It All The Time”. McCready also appears with Lorrie Morgan, Sara Evans, and
Martina McBride on BNA’s Girl’s Night Out. McCready’s following two solo
albums, If I Don’t Stay The Night and I’m Not So Tough, sold poorly and she
was dropped by BNA.
In April of 2000, she was signed by Capitol Records. She released a self-titled
album with Capitol in 2002 to disappointing sales, and was dropped by
Capitol later that year. McCready was once engaged to actor Dean Cain. In
2005 she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and spoke of her problems. Mindy
McCready admitted her ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight had beat her frequently
and they had a tumultuous relationship, and that she had tried to commit
suicide. She also revealed that she had seen her ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight
recently and that she needs help.
Her father was on the show and said that she is often in denial about her
problems and that he wanted her to get help and supported her. She also
spoke of how growing up her mother wasn't very loving and encouraging and as
a result McCready suffers from poor self-esteem. She is now known mostly for
her trouble with the law. Talking to Oprah Winfrey, McCready hoped that her
story would encourage and help others, even if its only one girl in the
world. "You know what we're all hoping?" Oprah says to Mindy. "That you are
that girl. |
